bollinger . the chief frustration of that opinion conveyance the court did not overturn, or decided in the first place. if you look at the citations to the different types of so-called evidence indicated in that opinion, it is in permission that predates the court's ruling in grutter v. bollinger, so it does not even deal with contemporary law. to compare slavery and legally mandated segregation to affirmative action programs really defies logic. we believe most of the justices have rejected that and most americans would also reject that kind of logic as well. >> the petitioner in the case is abigail fisher, the woman who said she was rejected because she was white. in this online video, she builds her action as a challenge against discrimination. >> there were people in my class to have lower grades who were not in the activities and i was in and they were accepted, and the only difference was the color of our skin. a good way to stop the puck -- discrimination on applications is to get rid of t

lee bollinger is the president of columbia university. he's played a leading role in two major court cases on affirmative action. and gail heriot teaches at the university of san diego school of law, and is a member of the u.s. commission on civil rights. welcome to you both. starting with you lee bolinger, how do you interpret this very narrow ruling? >> well, i think the first thing to note -- and it's really important -- is that the court and seven justices affirmed the gruder case and also the pall opinion in bacchi. every time the court does that, it creates another precedent. under the doctrine of starry desighs it that makes affirmative action in higher education all the more secure. we don't really know what the decision means in terms of additional proof. the court was quite big. it's important to realize there were both conservative and liberal justices that agreed to that. we'll just have to see what the meaning of that is. >> ifill: they didn't knock it down. so that's good news. what do you think? >> as justice scalia points

the big supreme court decision not overturned, gruder versus bollinger. justice o'connor said at some point, affirmative action would have to end. not yet. >> many people thought that case would resolve it now. can you use race as a factor. the question people were asking is, is the court going to look at this case and make it specific to texas and say, texas was a lot of tings that can add to a diverse student body. they accept the top 10% in every school in the state of people to get admitted to the school. that could lead to a more diverse student body. the question people are looking at is will the court say, that's enough in this particular case, that doesn't necessarily mean it would apply to other cases. as terry points out, they punted instead and said, send this back to the lower court, apply the right standard, and then let's talk. >> it may take time for this to get back to the supreme court. thank you, dan. the supreme court not done yet. major cases still to come on gay marriage and voting rights. we'll cover them when the decisions come, lik
